Within a Liouville approach to non-critical string theory, we discuss space-time foam effects on the propagation of low-energy particles. We find an induced frequency-dependent dispersion in the propagation of a wave packet, and observe that this would affect the outcome of measurements involving low-energy particles as probes. In particular, the maximum possible order of magnitude of the space-time foam effects would give rise to an error in the measurement of distance comparable to that independently obtained in some recent heuristic quantum-gravity analyses. We also briefly compare these error estimates with the precision of astrophysical measurements.

  1. How Much Can Gravitons Be Squeezed?

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Superradiant axion-like-particle clouds around rotating black holes can generate multimode squeezed graviton states with 10^6-10^7 correlated quanta showing polarization correlations and quantum-noise signatures poten...

  2. Impact of different neutrino decoherence formalisms at the future long-baseline Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two bases for the neutrino decoherence matrix yield identical vacuum probabilities at small Gamma but diverge at large Gamma or with strong matter effects, altering chi-squared sensitivities at DUNE and P2SO.

  3. Monte Carlo simulation of GRB data to test Lorentz-invariance violation

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A combined model with both Lorentz-violation and energy-dependent intrinsic delays recovers simulated parameters across all mock datasets and fits multi-GeV and TeV GRB photons, yielding a subluminal LV scale of about...

  4. Strong gravitational lensing by black hole in F(R) Euler Heisenberg Gravity's Rainbow

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Applying the strong deflection limit to the F(R)-Euler-Heisenberg-Rainbow black hole gives lensing observables that increase with the Euler-Heisenberg parameter and decrease with charge.

  5. Examining Lorentz invariance violation with three remarkable GRB photons

    astro-ph.HE 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adding three extreme GRB photons preserves the fitted Lorentz-violation scale E_LV ~ 3e17 GeV, but only when an energy-dependent intrinsic delay term, itself a fitting construct, absorbs the new TeV photons.

  6. Revisiting Varying Speed of Light in Cosmology: Insights from the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker Metric

    physics.gen-ph 2025-05 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    A varying speed of light in FLRW is presented as gauge freedom via the lapse function, but the key variational derivation omits the √-g measure and the claimed Hubble-tension resolution contradicts Eq. (30).
